Chucking a tanty...

Tell us all of a tantrum you threw when you were a kid that you now look back on and wonder what the heck you got so worked up about. I realise this could be difficult for many members to whom the phrase "when you were a kid" has no meaning.

Anyway, I remember one time when I was about sevenish my mum bought me a new bath towel with a picture of two sharks in a sports car (no, really!). I got in a huff because I said it was a beach towel, not a bath towel and never the twain shall meet. I was so upset that I burst into tears and threw a mighty tantrum.

The funny thing is that my mum didn't back down, even though it was such an inconsequential issue. She eventually forced me into the shower and then to use the towel which, I had to admit, was nice and soft and a pleasure to dry myself with.

My mum keeps re-telling the story of the time I sat in a puddle somewhere along my road and had a tantrum because I wanted to sit in it. . . That was when I was 2 though. :P

I didn't tend to have many tantrums. . .

Ah yes. The infamous [insert my surname here... ah, Magnet will do] tantrums. I can't remember why I ever had them, and I grew out of them long before my age reached double figures, but they usually began once I'd been sent to bed. Mine was (and, er, still is) the top bunk in a room I share with my brother, I would scream and chuck my fluffy toys down to the floor. You know the kind. Dinosaurs, fish, ossorted octopi and aliens... Once they were strewn about the room I would usually calm down.


Hmm. I have just embarrassed myself in front of all you guys.

Any of the loud tantrums I threw in stores as a kid over anything, I was pretty quiet otherwise.

I was nice and well behaved and have never heard of any tantrums from either of my parents.

I get so fucking intense when I play games online sometimes, which is weird, because I'm really not much of a "competitive person." However, Amber can vouch for the expressions of abject rage I would get on my face when all of my friends used to hang out and play Halo/Halo 2.

I flip out on people from time to time on Chromehounds, too. I mean, it's all so silly. I'm really trying to cut down on taking stupid games so seriously.

I don't remember ever throwing a tantrum, which isn't to say I wasn't one emotional little shit.

I had one megatanty in my younger days. According to mother, one day I stormed in the room looking most most vexxed, and she asked why. I said "Why can't I have babies?! It's not fair!" and cried like a little bitch. I don't remember it, but mother never hesitates to share it.

May my cheeks become rosy from shame but when I was very young my sister was babysitting me and I wanted to watch Pinocchio (or however you spell that). She was upstairs just reading in her room and not even using the tv. I asked her if I could watch it (My mother was very strict and I couldn't use the tv without first asking) and she told me no. I must have become furious at her for just being a bitch and not letting me watch the freakin' movie for no reason because I distinctly remember kicking walls and screaming.

About 3 days ago my mom asked me to watch the dogs and I was all like "No, I wanna watch the end of this set." And she asked me again and I got all testy and was all like "Gimme two friggin', ma, I'm trying to watch this match."
She asks me again and I freak out and yell "NOT NOW DAMMIT! I'M TRYING TO WATCH THIS ****ING MATCH!!!" I got slapped, and the real b of it was I had to watch them anyhow. I need to grow up.

I never really had any tantrums, and still don't. I was a good kid.

But I am inclined to whine a lot these days.

Oh man tantrums. I had ERY bad experiences with these things in 3rd grade cause I had such a short temper.

So basicly we had a sub teacher and I really didn't like her. I don't remember how but I got in trouble for some reason. Now here's the stupid part that I will remember for my whole life. I don't know WHY but I picked up a chair and threw it at the sub teacher. Man I was a violent kid back then. I changed A LOT though over the years.

A strong one too, it appears.

I distinctly remember one from about 2 years ago when I wanted to wear my high heels to Savon and my mother wouldn't let me...nothing like throwing myself down and kicking my feet, but there sure was a lot of screaming, slamming doors and tears...something along the lines of: "WHY CAN'T I EVER WEAR WHAT I WANT? ARE YOU JUST GOING TO CONTROL ME ALL MY LIFE?"

....Clearly, I was overreacting. But I still don't see the reason for the taboo...

Is there a reason why some of my posts are disappearing? this is the third thread in which that has happened. My "remakes of Movies" thread has disappeared from the "threads Started by AN NEELY" list, as well.

Back on topic:
I used to throw fits when I was missing Poke'mon (mostly when I came home from school locked out). I also used to get in fights with people that made fun of me.

Not no more, though. Now I just anonymously plot revenge on them (usually includes making the enemy make themselves look like idiots in front of crushes, social groups, teaches, or teams).
